Buckley Old Engine Show — August 14–17 in Buckley

Come see history in motion at the Buckley Old Engine Show! It’s pure vintage at this mecca of motorheads: no autos or tractors were built after 1970, meaning attendees witness a decades-long parade of carefully crafted, American-made machines at work during this 4-day festival. And don’t miss this: The Spirit of Traverse City, the train that circumnavigated Clinch Park, will be steaming around the Engine Show’s grounds.

Traverse City’s ode to Spanish cuisine returns to the Traverse City Open Space. Paella—an anything-goes medley of rice, veggies and protein—will be the centerpiece of this delicious food and tunes festival. Music will be provided by Salsa band Grupo Ayo and local talent Ryan Mountbleu and Rootstand. Tickets to Paella in the Park are available at MyNorthTickets.com:
